Monitor CPU and RAM usage

[melvinkwok]

Hi,
I'm looking for a software to monitor Raspberry Pi CPU and RAM usage of each programs. Been looking around. But i can't seem to find it. Are there any software which i can install? I'm currently using Raspbian Wheezy.

Have you tried "top" ?

top works really well.

htop is even better again, and can be installed with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install htop -y

Another great monitor is Conky. It's fully customizable trough a configuration file. It's syntax is not hard to learn, also there are many sites that host ready-made conkyrc files to save you some time.

Gkrellm is also a good alternative and extremely easy to use but works (as far as I know) only in X11 environments.

Both Conky and Gkrellm can be installed using the package management system in most distributions:

Debian:

Code: Select all

apt-cache search conky   # To search for the package as it comes in several flavors.
sudo apt-get install conky-all     # To Install the full package and extras

Arch:

Code: Select all

pacman -Ss conky
sudo pacman -Sy conky

Check with "Rpi-Monitor". This program is readily available in the pi store.
